Well well well... W8 R2 not so bad after all. I went a long to running club to do W8 R2. Trust me to get paired up with a fast front runner, although I beat my PB fastest 1k from 7.13 to 6.44 yippppeeee I'm red as a beetroot and sweated a bath full. Was so good to be out there with others who have a passion for running ;-)

Onwards and upwards ;-)

Thank you. Yes, it was a good run and with a great bunch too. We also practice breathing techniques too ;-)

That sounds really good B :0). Were you running at a track or out on the roads? I did my 2nd run today too. Bit slower than Sunday's run and felt tough today too.

Well done on ticking off another run. Graduation day looms large!

Take care though. Keeping up with fast club runners could force you to go faster and further than you are ready for. Don't do that will you! Not til you're ready that is

Thank you miss.

I did not realise he was going to be so fast. Luckly we were running a lap then stopping to practice breathing technique ;-) towards the end of the session i dropped back to a slow pace as I knew I had done well enough not to push anymore ;-)

Thank you, it felt good to push myself to wgat I know I can do ;-)

We were at a local park where the parkrun is held.

Well done you. I think it's natural to have tough days as well as the good ones. We are pushing out bodies to work really hard. Not long now 4 more runs to the finish line ;-)
